JOE BRUSSEL

I graduated with a degree in Industrial Design from the Columbus College of Art & Design, the oldest school of its kind in the United States. A Colorado native since 1986, I live and breathe design, having worked in studios from LA to NY, large and small. Recently, I relocated to the NYC area.
 
My work has let me work on some pretty amazing projects, from toasters and watches to monsters and spaceships. I work closely with local clients to provide a smart, personalized, and nuanced approach to design projects of every description.

I'm currently looking for freelance work or a design position in the NYC area.
